Quick note off the campaign trail: I have officially filed to run for Congress.

I believe in what we can accomplish together this year, and am very eager to put together the grassroots coalition of working families we need to win in November.

Grassroots supporters like you demonstrated your commitment to our cause and our community at our campaign kickoff events throughout the 2nd District:

After earning a 96% score for my 2021 legislative record, the League of Conservation voters has endorsed my re-election to Congress. Their support demonstrates our campaign's commitment to making environmental issues a top priority.

Addressing climate change must be a top priority. Decades of inaction has resulted in warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, and climate-caused disasters. Just last year, hundreds of people died during the Pacific Northwest's searing heat wave. We are living with the consequences of our nation's failure to address climate change. And we are setting up future generations to suffer the consequences of our own failure.

Yesterday, the Senate voted against the Women's Health Protection Act. The WHPA would protect abortion rights nationwide, no matter what the Supreme Court does.

Enshrined in the Roe v. Wade decision is not just the right to an abortion, but elemental concepts of privacy and bodily autonomy. An overturn of Roe v. Wade, as the leaked Supreme Court draft decision suggests is coming, would represent a terrible attack on our constitutional freedoms and the trampling of legal precedent, long-standing norms, and the will of the vast majority of Americans.
